Triple tents: popular models and recommendations for selection

Sooner or later, each person has a desire to get out into nature, change the environment. Ignoring such desires is not worth it, especially since such a rest would be useful. Regardless of what the ultimate goal of such a sortie, you need a certain equipment. In his number must be a tent. Given that single trips are rare, the most popular option among all the tents are triple models.

Going into nature without a tent for more than a few hours is not worth it. It can protect you from almost any weather conditions - heat, cold, wind, precipitation. In addition, the tent is quite capable of becoming a barrier to insects and small animals. In it you can arrange things and supplies. Awnings, awnings, huts and similar structures are unlikely to be compared in terms of comfort with a good tent. Another tent as a temporary analogue of the home provides psychological comfort, enhances the atmosphere of security. At first, in nature, many feel anxious - a good company in a comfortable environment will help to cope with it.

Based on the name, the triple tent is designed to accommodate a certain number of people. But it can easily fit a company of four, especially if there are children among them. A minimum of 55 cm is required for each person on the floor for an overnight stay, plus additional passages between the berths are needed.

In reality, if you wish, you can make room and fit more compactly. Two people in the triple model will feel more spacious. Only it will be harder to heat the extra space. Yes, and to distribute the weight of all equipment between a large number of satellites is easier.

Buying a larger tent for three people is not worth it for the same reasons. The capacity of the tent is better to assess soberly.

In order to choose the right tent for your needs, you must at least have a general idea of ​​what options you can find in the store. Among them you can find both models with frame and frameless. More modern options among the frame are designs that resemble a semi-doubles or hemisphere. The first one is more convenient for staying in it, while the second one has better indicators of mobility and resistance to difficult weather conditions. Depending on the purpose of the trip there are the following types of triple tents.

• Extreme - take it in appropriate conditions. For example, for climbing in mountainous areas, where there is no opportunity to sit well and at the same time there is a threat of bad weather. For them, compactness is important (both in the folded and in the installed state), strength, tightness, stability and low weight.

• Camping - it is intended for rest with the greatest possible convenience. Usually it is placed more thoroughly and for a certain time. Accordingly, this option will be more spacious and filled with all sorts of gadgets. The weight will be impressive, you need transportation by car. Most often, such campgrounds are set at the time of events - festivals, competitions, etc.

• Trekking (tourist) - a simpler option. Compared with the above, it is average in weight and reliability. Of course, the conditions and complexity of the campaign may be different, so the equipment must be appropriate.

Conventionally, the tents can be divided into summer, winter and all-season. If the tent is to be used during the cold season, its tent should be waterproof, warmed, with additional protection below the draft and a hole for the stove. Ideally, its dimensions should be as small as possible (so the interior space is easier to heat). Installation in this case should be quick and easy. And for the summer tent, not only the quality and properties of the material, but also good ventilation should be of much greater importance.

In addition, tents can be:

• double layer;
• single layer.

The first option is not only more reliable in dealing with various manifestations of the environment, but also saves from excessive moisture and accumulated condensate (as a result, it is retained in the space between the layers). The second option is more affordable than double-layer tents.

A special place is occupied by tents, equipped with mechanisms that allow you to spend on their assembly no more than a minute. They are also called automatic or semi-automatic. Professionals or consultants of the store can tell more about the mechanisms. However, judging by the reviews, self-folding tent-machine is gaining increasing popularity. In favor of such specimens speak not only the speed and ease of installation, but also the reliability of the design in conjunction with ergonomics. In this case, it is not necessary to say that ordinary tents lose something to them. It will just be harder for them to deal with newcomers. Yes, and time-tested simplicity has its advantages, especially in severe weather conditions.

In addition to the tent, frame and bottom, the package may include additional elements:

• several entrances;
• tambours;
• pockets;
• window;
• mosquito net;
• protective skirts (from drafts on the floor).

Three-person tents may vary in size. It depends on the manufacturer. The width of the average, they do not exceed 1.8-2 meters. This value is optimal for three people. The height depends on the shape of the tent and is usually about 1.2 -1.3 meters. The next parameter is the weight of the product when folded. Warm versions will be heavier than usual, as well as tents with all sorts of additional elements - vestibules, skirts, etc. They certainly make life in nature more pleasant, but their need can be questioned.

If you focus on the evaluation and user feedback, Among the triple models you can pay attention to the following names.

• Tramp mountain 3 alu - this is a sports, fast-model for outdoor activities in any weather. The tent with additional moisture-resistant impregnation will save from heavy precipitation.

Having information about the types of tents and their features, you can proceed directly to the choice of the desired option. For this you need to consider several aspects.

• To begin with, we determine the number of people taking part in the hike. It is better if the space is slightly larger than necessary.
• It is necessary to clearly indicate the purpose of the attack on nature and to think in advance about the occupation. For quiet accommodation in one place it is better to choose a comfortable camping tent. If you plan to move from place to place, you can abandon the weighting parts in favor of a simple model. In extreme conditions, reliability is important.
• If all the equipment will be delivered to the site by transport, the weight can be almost anything. If it is necessary to rely only on their own strength, this characteristic becomes significant.
• The most popular are models designed for summer and off-season. If the plans have a hike in the cold period, you need a specialized version (with insulation, a two-layer).
• Since it is difficult to predict the weather, it is better to make a choice in favor of a more sustainable option with high moisture resistance of the awning and hermetic seams.
• When purchasing a model with a large number of additional details, you should carefully evaluate their need. After all, they will not only add weight, but also affect the cost.
• Do not focus only on the popularity of the brand or its value. These indicators do not always become synonymous with quality. At the same time, it is better not to purchase products whose price is significantly lower than the average.
• Considerable role in the selection of reviews and recommendations. The experience of other people will help to understand what can be encountered in practice.
• Directly receiving the goods, you must ensure its integrity and quality. Be sure to check the equipment and the presence of visible defects.
• It is better to study in advance the instruction manual and the characteristics of the selected model. This will save time and ease of use.
